blog-post-a-mature-role-for-automation#design-heuristics Design for appropriate trust, not greater trust.

Show the past performance of the automation.

Show the process and algorithms of the automation by revealing intermediate results in a way that is comprehensible to the operators.

Simplify the algorithms and operation of the automation to make it more understandable.

Show the purpose of the automation, design basis, and range of applications in a way that relates to the users' goals.

Train operators regarding its expected reliability, the mechanisms governing its behavior, and its intended use.

Carefully evaluate any anthropomorphizing of the automation, such as using speech to create a synthetic conversational partner, to ensure appropriate trust. blog-post-a-mature-role-for-automation#design-heuristics
